Even when they are working they still are not getting anything accomplished, besides costing tax payers a lot of money. The corruption is so deep I don't think it can ever be fixed. Left or right you can not believe one guy is causing a grid lock.

LOL, 1 post from Michael and, you guessed it, it's about race. Liberal argument 101- can't come up with a fact to refute a claim, throw in a claim of racism that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Mike, we wouldn't expect anything less from the master of deflection. His comments went from being upsetting, to humorous, to just plain stupid and worthless. But it keeps him entertained so let him enjoy his first amendment rights like a drunk relative at a family picnic.

I'm celebrating gridlock all year long. Gridlock should be a national holiday. All joking aside Phil you are correct, I have been saying this for a number of years, gridlock does no harm and is beneficial for Americans of all stripes. When there is gridlock there is no harm done. Bi-partisanship is good for politicians and lobbyists but gridlock is good for America. Bi-partisanship is simply a code word for sticking it to the American people, just look at the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012. A truly bi-partisan bill that is hurting those who live in flood prone areas. The consequences of this bill will affect and hurt every homeowner and taxpayer.

C'mon...c'mon...ya' gotta give the House Class O' 2010 a "little" credit...for hu$tling OTHER T-Baggers into voting for them!!!! After all...how many OTHER people have benefited from proclaiming (right from the START) they would perform ZERO duties, for their generous-salaries??!!! Only (other) T-Baggers would see that as economically-practical!!!

Perhaps some of the critics of gridlock could explain to us just what they would like to see government accomplish. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting though; they only seem capable of being critical of their opponents. Expressing there own ideology is completely foreign to them.

Finally a "tea-bagger" comment Sham, but what about Porky Limbaugh (that's what he would say) and all the rest. You're slippin' in your old age.... You must be missing your "Commies Anonymous" meetings.

Obama’s, America’s first openly Marxist president, was willing to negotiate with Iran and Syria, but not with the GOP. Liberals continue to blame Republicans for the Democrat-ordered government shutdown and to punish the American people.

I agree Phil, but I would go one step further. What they really should be doing is repealing laws. We already have far too many stupid laws, so getting rid of them is much more important than passing new ones.

It is important to remember that the Constitution was written when life moved much slower and weeks, even months, were required to send a message and receive a reply. Life moves much faster now and requires 24/7 attention to keep up with it. Gridlock has a much more significant, and negative, impact on events now than it did in the early 1800s. Another way to put is that more happens in a week that must be dealt with than what happened in a year 200 years ago.
